Automated Discrimination of Shapes in High Dimensions

چکیده
We present a new method for discrimination of data classes or data sets in a high-dimensional space. Our approach combines two important relatively new concepts in high-dimensional data analysis, i.e., Diffusion Maps and Earth Mover’s Distance, in a novel manner so that it is more tolerant to noise and honors the characteristic geometry of the data. We also illustrate that this method can be used for a variety of applications in high dimensional data analysis and pattern classification, such as quantifying shape deformations and discrimination of acoustic waveforms.

Two-item same-different concept learning in pigeons.
We report the first successful demonstration of a simultaneous, two-item same-different (S/D) discrimination by 6 pigeons, in which nonpictorial color and shape stimuli were used. This study was conducted because the majority of recently successful demonstrations of S/D discrimination in pigeons have employed displays with more than two items. Two pairs of stimulus items were simultaneously pre...
متن کاملAutomated differentiation of benign and malignant liver tumors by Ultrasound Images
Background & Aims: Early detection and reliable differentiation of benign and malignant liver tumors could lead to improved cure rate and costs. Ultrasound image (US) is a convenient medical imaging method for interpreting liver tumors. Visual inspection of ultrasound images sometimes is combined with error and needs biopsy to confirm whether a tumor would be benign or malignant. The aim of thi...

متن کاملAutomated Quality Inspection of Precast Concrete Elements with Irregular Shapes Using Terrestrial Laser Scanner and BIM Technology
Nowadays precast concrete elements are widely used in buildings, bridges, and other civil infrastructure facilities because precast elements allow rapid construction and high precision quality control. However, the quality inspection of precast concrete elements primarily relies on manual inspection, which is time consuming and error-prone. Recently, terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) has been use...
متن کاملTitle: " Properties of Shape Tuning of Macaque Inferior Temporal Neurons Examined Using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation "
We used Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) to examine the tuning of macaque inferior temporal cortical (IT) neurons to 5 sets of 25 shapes each that varied systematically along pre-defined shape dimensions. A comparison of the RSVP technique using 100 ms presentations with that using a longer duration showed that shape preference can be determined with RSVP. Using relatively complex shapes...
